Mastodon Migration Jul 15, 2023

#Threads is not federating with #Mastodon. Not anytime soon, maybe not ever.

In case you missed the #Meta inside information from the Verge's Alex Heath: "Re: ActivityPub integration, it's still a priority for Threads but a "long" way out." https://mastodon.social/@alexeheath/110713788758597963

This whole federating with Threads thing has never made any sense and now we see it is very likely they have just been playing us the whole time. Let's stop falling for this nonsense and get back to building great open social media.

@mastodonmigration Speaking as someone who is losing interest in Mastodon due to getting very little engagement here, I'll get glad to replace Elon Musk's Twitter with anything that provides the same level of engagement. Even if it's from Mark Zuckerberg.

@KansasGrant @mastodonmigration Another perspective - perhaps "engagement" is not either what you really want, or what is good for you.

I could get random people "engaged" by going up to them and insulting them, but is this actually a good thing?

I like this Fascist-free, thoughtful space. I wouldn't trade it for ten times the engagement with the Trumpistas, the vaccine conspiracists, the racists and the Nazies.
